YOUR MEMBERSHIP AT WORK

Annually, membership dollars fund a myriad of services and
programs for the Museum and the Wewoka community. Your contributions support a range of
activities, many of which include:

RESTORATION

In conjunction with grant funds provided through national
foundations and other private sources, membership dollars make a significant
impact in the restoration, renovation and maintenance of the Museum’s historic
home - the original Wewoka Community Center.
Since 2007, over $500,000 has been raised to repair and up-grade the
Museum building in pursuit of our goal to preserve the historic work of the WPA
while providing an effective, modern environment in which to share the story of
Wewoka and the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma.

PRESERVATION

An on-going effort of the Museum is the care and
preservation of its thousands of artifacts, photographs and artworks. Without proper storage and maintenance, these
important collections would not last for other generations to enjoy. Membership
contributions support the purchase of conservation supplies and fund training
and continuing education for staff.

EDUCATION

One of the most important uses of membership dollars is the
support of educational outreach programs. Museum staff travels across Oklahoma
and the Southeast to bring creative, educational and fun programming to
students K-12. Story-telling, cultural
activities and crafts are just a few of the methods the Museum uses to bring to
life the people and culture of our area.

EXHIBITION

Membership dollars fund special programs and exhibits, such
as the Smithsonian national traveling exhibit, Key Ingredients: America by Food
(2011) and the Combat Paper Project (2012-13), as well as other shows
celebrating the work of local and regional artists.

ACQUISITION

Additions to the Museum’s Permanent Collection of artworks
and artifacts are funded annually through donor support. This important aspect of membership giving
allows the Museum to constantly add new representations of art and culture to
their existing collections and to reflect the evolution of the Wewoka community
and the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma.
